About
I’m James Wheeler, a backend-focused full-stack engineer based in Las Vegas, NV, with 15+ years of building and operating production web platforms across Linux and Microsoft server environments. I’m the architect and maintainer of payment-enabled systems responsible for over $9M in processed transactions, while maintaining 99.9% uptime and security commitments across more than a decade of production operations.
As founder of SucceedHost, I design and maintain PHP/MySQL web applications, implement secure payment integrations using Stripe, PayPal, and Square, build authentication workflows including Google SSO and RBAC, and oversee infrastructure hardening and data modeling to optimize performance. I also work on frontend interfaces with modern JS frameworks and love turning complex requirements into reliable, scalable systems.
